    Pram for two children?

    I have a Mountain Buggy that I want to keep but doesn't have a toddler seat that will fit. The only way to get a 2nd child on is a buggy riderboard but DD will only be 23 months when new baby is born so isn't suitable. I have a sling but don't want that to be my only option for talking two out of the house. Can you solve my problem?
    PS I really love my MB and would be loathe to sell it...

    Phil and ted Dash is what we have, bought with intention of having 2 kids close together.
    Have not yet used with 2 kids but will in january.

    3 friends have phil and ted sport with 2 kids and love it.

    What about a mclaren stroller a twin one.

    I have the Phil and Teds Sports - and carry DS (5 wks) and DD (19 mths) in it - and I love it. I loathed the thought of having a side by side pusher just for the difficulty of getting around the shops (which have small aisles anyway).

    The other pushers and prams we looked at (side by side) seemed to be more for twins - as a newborn would have be fine in them size wise, but the toddler would be squished (we put DD in one and she had hardly no shoulder space and looked so uncomfortable - and she was only 12 mths at the time, AND a premmie )...

    I wanted something that could be used with one or two kids as no doubt DD will probably love one of those rider boards in the near future, so it will fulfill our requirements for ages.

    I just don't want to replace it with another one as I love the MB and spent a lot on it and it is great for me jogging with etc
    I am just at a loss as to what to do as DDis too young for a riderboard and no toddler seat available. I know the P+T has two seats but I don't want one!!!!

    I have a Valco Harlequin with the optional toddler seat. It's great - but I think they're rather expensive. Well, they were when I bought it before DS1 was born.

    why don't you sell the mb and replace it with a second-hand mb double?

    Well I sort of figure that in time (6 months?) DD will be ok walking or on a riderboard and then I have a double pram for nothing. Thanks for the sugg Ginger. I have thought about it and now wondering if I am looking for an impossible answer!

    Sounds like it, babe, LOL! I don't think you can have your mountain buggy and eat it too LOL.

    Katie - I have the same issue, love my MB, but it's no good for two. My plan at the moment is to maybe buy a 2nd hand P&T from Ebay, use it only for as long as I have to, then resell it & revert to the MB. Maybe crazy, but I just can't let go of the MB yet...
